This episode, the first in a two-part series titled ‘Money talks’ is about the language of money and financing. I also give some practical advice on bargaining and debt because it seems important to mention dos and donts on such an important topic instead of only concentrating on the words. I hope you’ll find it valuable. As a teacher you can find inspiration in the lesson or as a student note down the language and advice if you need to for your own learning. Enjoy
